Physical limits of flight performance in the heaviest soaring bird
Flight costs are predicted to vary with environmental conditions, and this should ultimately
determine the movement capacity and distributions of large soaring birds. Despite this, little …

Plastic ingestion and dispersion by vultures may produce plastic islands in natural areas
Rubbish dumps can become an important environmental source of plastic. Several species
feed on organic waste from these sites, but at the same time are exposed to non-organic …

Carcass persistence and detectability: reducing the uncertainty surrounding wildlife-vehicle collision surveys
Carcass persistence time and detectability are two main sources of uncertainty on roadkill
surveys. In this study, we evaluate the influence of these uncertainties on roadkill surveys …

How do roads affect the habitat use of an assemblage of scavenging raptors?
Scavengers may benefit from the availability of dead animals along roads that result from
collisions with vehicles. However, roads are also considered risky places for many species …
